Encapsulate Before it’s Too Late!
Read about how encapsulation can benefit your crawl space during the historical rainy season we’re experiencing here in North Carolina.
Rainfall records were shattered in North Carolina during 2018 and the overall pattern suggests that we can expect above average precipitation well into March of 2019. In addition to the obvious impact on mood and outdoor activities, excess rainfall can cause flooding or moisture in your crawl spaces.
Encapsulation is the first step in waterproofing and will help in keeping the lowest level of your home dry, amidst the rain we’ve been seeing and expect to see. More than likely, your problem will begin with the rain water ending up in pools right next to the foundation of your home. Some of that water will evaporate, some will soak into the soil and the rest may find its way into your crawl space by seeping in the foundation walls through any cracks you may have in your foundation. How can you prevent this?
